Topic: When information technology is being used more and more in education, there will be no role for teachers. Do you agree or disagree?
It is true that computers have become an essential tool for teachers and students in all areas of education. However, while computers are extremely useful, I do not agree with the idea that they could soon replace teachers completely.
There are several advantages to using computers in education. Firstly, students learn new skills which will be extremely useful for their future jobs. For example, they learn to write reports or other documents using a word processor, and they can practice doing spoken presentations using PowerPoint slides. Secondly, technology is a powerful tool to engage students. The use of websites or online videos can make lessons much more interesting, and many students are more motivated to do homework or research using online resources. Finally, if each student has a computer to work on, they can study at their own pace. At the same time, adults can take distance learning courses and students can study whenever and wherever they want.
On the other hand, I believe it is more beneficial for students to study with teachers. Firstly, classroom interaction with teachers can never be mimicked by a computer or on-line curriculum. Such interaction allows teachers to solve their students’ problems in study or research accordingly, which leads to a more effective learning. Secondly, Young learners do not become proficient in some basic skills, because learners need structured course and an experienced teacher knows what materials to choose. Finally, good teachers will always be necessary to draw out the knowledge and help students develop the skills needed to think critically about the information they consume, and this will never be achieved by sitting face-to-face in front of a computer.
For the reasons mentioned above, I do not think that machines can replace teachers. As technology can enhance the teacher’s lesson, both combination will be efficient for learners.
